There are 45,752 Council Tax chargeable houses in Moray.

The exact number of Council Tax chargeable houses in Elgin is not held, and as such is exempt under Section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002. This is because a search for houses recorded in our system with an Elgin address would also include houses in towns such as Lhanbryde and Hopeman. At best we can provide an approximation of Council Tax chargeable houses in Elgin, a figure arrived at after removing addresses that appear to be out-of-town, although we can give no guarantee of the accuracy of this method. This approximate number is 12,101 Council Tax chargeable houses in Elgin.
